How far was Chedwyn offside?

[Pittsburg Blade]

There's been a lot of whinging from Palarse about Chedwyn being up to "three yards offside".....
Looking at the highlights in slo-mo you can see that the mighty Chedwyn was definitely three yards onside when the cross was delivered.
When Bartley contacted the ball with his head, it looks to me like Chedwyn is level with Bartley (at least his left foot anyway).
The angles might be deceiving, but could be considered a good call by the lino.
I tried to attach a snapshot. Hope it comes through..

He was about a yard offside when Bartley headed it.

The linesman probably didnt see Bartley make contact though, the ball came in pretty quickly and when I watched it at full speed on TV, I couldn't tell that he'd headed the ball, it looked like it just went straight past him.

He was off but you can see why the lino missed it, 3 yards though......................righto!

 

[judge]

its not as if thats the only thing the officials got wrong is it?

 

[shorehamview]

He wasn't offside. If he had been offside the referee would have indicated as such, the goal wouldn't have counted, and the opposition would have had a free kick. Since none of that happened we have to conclude that Chedwyn was not offside and the goal was fine, because let's face it, match officials do not make mistakes, do they?

Reminds me of when I was playing cricket for our school (All Saints on Granville Road). The batsmen got the loudest 'nick' in the world through to the wicket keeper and we duly celebrated...until we realised the umpire (teacher) hadn't pointed skywards. The batsmen stolidly stood his ground.

"did he not hit that, sir?"

we asked, in that polite way we cricketers have.

"No"

replied the umpire

"if he had, I'd have given him out"


Can't argue with that

 

[Blade58]

The two/three yard claims by the so called expert pundits seems to be quite frankly ridiculous!

They know less than we do sometimes and I find some of their comments baffling

He was level at best when KB headed it, or at worst, a couple of feet off.

As mentioned above, on that basis it's quite understandable as to why the goal stood

Hallelujah..................................we've had the rub of the green for once!

Steve Claridge was spitting feathers on The Football League Show. He was rather insistent that Ched was a couple of yards offside despite the replay clearly showing it was nothing like that!!

Everything Steve Claridge says should be either be inverted or ignored and you won't be far wrong... He knows almost as little as Rosenior the other so-called 'pundit' from that show. The whole set up is an embarrasment to football full stop. (something I agree with the Lagerlouts from Bladesmad about!!!)

And just to think we pay for that!

 

[Bladesman]

Well offside but to be honest I dont care as we really needed that bit of luck.

If that had happend away to Palace I very much doubt it would of been given despite the officials being completely useless.

 

[DP8789]

who cares, we needed, god knows he needed it. a bit more luck and we might even maintain some form of a run. we were the better side saturday anyway, other than pace, they had nothing that suggested they were better than us. that clyne fella looks tidy and the other lad on the right was handy too, cant remember his name.

keep it up blades.

I'm also taking the line, 'It said 3-2 to us in the papers'. We haven't had much luck this year and it was our turn.

The amount of pontificating by various experts about this goal is ridiculous. These kind of close decisions happen a dozen times every weekend. I notice no-one has over analysed Neil Danns for the first penalty...

Neil Danns didn't dive according to the pundits, 'He felt the contact'

Thats how shit pundits are they saying bollocks like this.

I'm with you Dunc on this. The history books and league table show that we won 3-2. Enough said

In the Triple Assault Season we played Palace in the League Cup and Pesky scored a goal at the Kop End while in an offside position.

But I feel we have about 27 more of these to come as payment for that Hopkin goal at Wembley .........

 

[SteelCity Blade]

Why is it that whenever we benefit from a questionable decision, every man and his dog is up in arms about it.....yet when we get the shitty end of the stick nearly every other week its never mentioned?

Something to do with being Sheffield United perhaps? (i.e. not a fashionable club)

I don't think even Paul Peschisolido was as much as 3 yards offside when he scored our second goal against them in the league cup semi final in 2002. And he was absolutely blatantly offside. So for the 'expert'(??) analysts to try and claim Evans was 3 yards offside is ridiculous. A couple of feet maybe at most, and that's arguable.

That's the way all umpiring should be done. I can match that quote with a Yorkshire Council umpire who, after the bowler told him that the batsman was about as out as it was possible to be, requested the scorebook be brought on so that he could show the bowler that the batsman was indeed 'not out'. He also added that he would remain that way until he said otherwise.

Later on the bowler apologised for getting upset - the umpire told him that he understood and that "I'd be fucking distraught if I was bowling like that".
